    iv PREFACE. , to offering to students and practitioners, in concise descriptions which doubtless leave much to be desired, what I have learned by examination and study, what I have done, and what I have observed in a large number of cases in my experience with little patients. NOTE BY THE TRANSLATOR. In offering to the American reader a translation of the valuable work of M. Guersant, it has been deemed expedient to preserve, without note or comment, the original text of one whose authority on the surgical affections of early life is so generally recognized. As allusion is liberally made by the author to the experience of other French writers and practitioners on almost all the subjects discussed, this treatise on the Surgical Diseases of Children may be justly regarded as a reflection of the views of the most distin- guished surgeons of that country, in the very interesting class of cases embraced in it. Philadelphia, No7. 1872.
